As well as being the Director for the music video, Black Dahlia was also Producer, Art Director, Choreographer, and Concept creator for her single 'Bodyguard'. Donning various characters, Black Dahlia embodies performance art and its mediums such as contortion, mime, surrealism, Dada, the avant-garde, and body horror. It also features cameos from Melbourne-based artists, Bura Bura as Dr Barget Hower, Manda Wolf as Dr Avanti and Cong Josie as Dr Cong. The artwork for the single itself was illustrated by artist Colin J Thompson and pays homage to surrealism artworks. It was presented with an ABC Rage’s ‘Wild One’ award, was later featured at SXSW Sydney 2024 Screen Festival and had radio coverage on KEXP, 2SER Radio, and FBI Radio.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Bodyguard 12\" Inch Vinyl Single includes an additional bonus demo track from 2018, and an insert with lyrics and a storyboard from the music video.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Side: Bodyguard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eB Side: Bodyguard (2018 Demo)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Dahlia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47239059603628,"sku":"SOD001","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1779\/6353\/files\/BlackDahlia.png?v=1789697003"},{"product_id":"black-dahlia-the-imposter-lp-black-vinyl","title":"Black Dahlia \/ The Imposter LP Gatefold Black Vinyl","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAn experimental musician and performance artist, Black Dahlia blurs the boundaries between theatre, sound, and surreal spectacle.
